| In the elven tradition, [[races:elves:start|their people]] are thought to have descended from the [[pantheons:class:sephareth|Sephareth]], beings who had perfectly incarnated into the world before the darkness had become prevalent and when the light was abundant and numerous as its designs would come to be known throughout the seven worlds of creation. The Sephareth were thought to have preserved the divinity of the light amongst themselves as they had consciously brought themselves into existence through a superior gift in magic and sorcery than the other, undifferentiated beings of creation, and with this source of light that contained all ideas within it being referred to as [[pantheons:deities:caelarkhe|Caelarkhe]], the celestial principle. The force is said to have supplied an order to the ancient world that enabled for other life forms to exist in tandem with it, thereby gifting the Sephareth with consciousness in the times in which the celestial principle was abundant. Caelarkhe is thought to have been defined by the forms in which it could not be, and not the shapes in which it could become, thereby being unable to further incarnate itself into another form of existence, a trait which was not inherited by the Sephareth. Thus, the Sephareth believe themselves to be the fully realized forms of Caelarkhe, and not the agents of stasis which are unified with the being.\\ | In the elven tradition, [[races:elves:start|their people]] are thought to have descended from the [[pantheons:class:sephareth|Sephareth]], beings who had perfectly incarnated into the world before the darkness had become prevalent and when the light was abundant and numerous as its designs would come to be known throughout the seven worlds of creation.

| The elven peoples acknowledge the beings of the cosmos in three classes: the [[pantheons:class:Aurya|Aurya]], who are bound to the mortal plane though possessing a consciousness as a result of their mixing between the light and the dark, the [[pantheons:class:Sorya|Sorya]], who are the forms and ideas which reside in a state of perpetual stasis in [[planes:heavens|Avaerus]], and the [[pantheons:class:Novya|Novya]], who are adherents of the chaos who inhabit within [[planes:void|the void]] of primal absence. The Sephareth believed themselves to be the pinnacle of the Auryi beings, who had established themselves and their world in a state where Caelarkhe's influence was evident, thereby preserving much of the force's power. Though the Sephareth see themselves as being bound to [[planes:aurius:start|Aurius]], they use this binding as their own form of stasis, thereby allowing them to preserve the essence of Caelarkhe throughout it.\\ | The elven peoples acknowledge the beings of the cosmos in three classes: the [[pantheons:class:Aurya|Aurya]], who are bound to the mortal plane though possessing a consciousness as a result of their mixing between the light and the dark, the [[pantheons:class:Sorya|Sorya]], who are the forms and ideas which reside in a state of perpetual stasis in [[planes:heavens:start|Avaerus]], and the [[pantheons:class:Novya|Novya]], who are adherents of the chaos who inhabit within [[planes:void:start|the void]] of primal absence.

| Eventually, however, the Sephareth found that the powers of the light were waning, and instead united within the central world of the seven worlds of creation in order to found [[planes:aurius:arethayn:start|Arethayn]], a place which notably preserved the golden light of the [[library:premodern:altori_era|Altori Era]] within itself as a result of its bindings. Arethayn would thus become the famed homeland of the elves, where their people would flourish as a result of their own potent magic.\\ | Eventually, however, the Sephareth found that the powers of the light were waning, and instead united within the central world of the seven worlds of creation in order to found [[planes:aurius:arethayn:start|Arethayn]], a place which notably preserved the golden light of the [[library:premodern:altori_era|Altori Era]] within itself as a result of its bindings.

| The two ancestral groups of proto-humans do not have a name, and it is without this identity that they exist to humans. Accordingly, they are acknowledged as more abstract entities, spoken of only in mythological word throughout their descendants. However, both groups would eventually face some sort of calamity, either instigated or allowed by the divine, which would punish them and bring an end to the sacrilege promoted by the evil of these ancestors. Thus, the survivors of calamity are thought of as blessed, being as they continued to exist by the grace of the gods in an era which was wrought with a certain destruction. This era happened variously and with disparity among the two groups, with one believing that divinity itself had punished them, and the other that the darkness had supplanted itself among them. Accordingly, this led to two disparate viewpoints on the nature of both the light and the dark, and further differentiated them from each other in regards to culture and belief. The survivors of both groups, however, regarded the punishment as necessary and a holy act, supporting their distinct perceptions of the light and the dark.\\ | The two ancestral groups of proto-humans do not have a name, and it is without this identity that they exist to humans.

| The two main peoples which share a certain amount of physical features among [[planes:aurius:caskaris:start|Caskaris]] are the [[races:humans:caskaric:iluayans:start|Iluayans]] and the [[:Varayans|Varayans]], thought to have belonged to and surrounded a northern stronghold of light which worshipped beings they called the [[pantheons:class:daevas|Daevas]], meaning nobility. Among this race of proto-humans, the Daevas were acknowledged as divinities, who were thought to have earlier descended from the heavens to further supply some order to the world. They were notably invoked within their rituals, and thus, worship of them proliferated as they had proven their power and use to these humans. Notably, however, there were some of these humans that could not perceive the Daevas, and thus found themselves worshipping spirits who inhabited the worlds of mortality. This blindness would come to spread throughout the east, thereby supplanting a chaos there that the Daevas could not penetrate into. This schism would lead to the identifier of the [[races:humans:caskaric:neraics:start|Neraics]], those conscious who resided within the Daevas' grace, and the [[races:humans:caskaric:ayanics:start|Ayanics]], who were of the body, both of which being the ancestors of the Iluayans and Varayans.\\ | The two main peoples which share a certain amount of physical features among [[planes:aurius:caskaris:start|Caskaris]] are the [[races:humans:caskaric:iluayans:start|Iluayans]] and the [[races:humans:caskaric:varayans:start|Varayans]], thought to have belonged to and surrounded a northern stronghold of light which worshipped beings they called the [[pantheons:class:daevas|Daevas]], meaning nobility.

| The Ayanics were tribal and primitive, lacking the worship of more advanced beings and instead, their worship was predicated by the phenomena of animism. Thus, they relied on totems to acknowledge their gods, found within the animals which inhabited the mortal plane. In these ancient times, [[pantheons:deities:Viora|Viora]] was acknowledged as a powerful goddess whose aspect inhabited within the earth and allowed for the proliferation of forest in their land through her power. [[pantheons:deities:Lirela|Lirela]] was also acknowledged, and it was through her that the springs could exist which indubitably granted life to the earth through her very blood of freshwater. The worship of [[pantheons:deities:Vindaric|Vindaric]], the king of sky and air, found itself sanctioned by their people as well, thought to have given them their very breath and allowed for the seeds of fertility to propagate themselves into the world.\\ | The Ayanics were tribal and primitive, lacking the worship of more advanced beings and instead, their worship was predicated by the phenomena of animism.
